Brendan Fevola has reportedly stepped in to have a celebrity team kicked off this year’s production of Ten’s The Amazing Race.
As first reported by The Herald Sun, SAS drill sergeant Ant Middleton and his brother Dan have been disqualified after an incident away from the cameras.
According to the report, Fevola confronted Dan over his behaviour towards other celebrity contestants on the hit show before giving producers an ultimatum to have the brothers kicked out of the series or he would leave with daughter Leni.

It has been alleged the brother of the popular SAS: Who Dares Wins instructor yelled at fellow contestants, TikTok producer brothers Luke and Scott O’Halloran late one night when most contestants had already gone to bed.
According to the publication, Dan yelled at the social media stars, using inappropriate language, before Fevola stepped in.
Network 10 on Friday confirmed one team has been sent home.
“Network 10 takes the health, safety and wellbeing of all contestants seriously,” a Ten spokesperson said.
“Following a breach of the production’s code of conduct by one contestant, on a day off during production, a team from The Amazing Race Australia was disqualified and swiftly sent home.”
There have been no suggestions Ant Middleton was involved in the incident in any way.
Filming for this year’s series began last month with 13 teams assembled for the third edition of Australian Celebrity Amazing Race.
The contestants are competing for a $100,000 prize to send to a charity of their choice.
Former NRL star Beau Ryan is again hosting this year’s edition of the series.
Other contestants on the show include four-time Olympian and triple gold medallist Bronte Campbell.
The cast also includes comedian Ed Kavalee, his wife, fitness guru Tiffiny Hall, and Australian Idol star Rob Mills.
Fevola, meanwhile, is continuing to prove he is a much better entertainer off the field than he was on it.
The 44-year-old is now in his 10th year as one of the most popular FM breakfast radio personalities in Melbourne.
The former Coleman medallist has turned his life around from cheating affairs, a separation from wife Alex and personal issues including a gambling addiction to be one of the most popular larrikins in Melbourne.
“Once I finish this contract (with FOX FM), I will have been in radio longer than I played my AFL career which blows my mind,” Fevola said in February.
“I will be a radio person instead of a football player. When I finish this contract I will have been here for 13 years.”
Fevola has had plenty of success in the reality TV game, having won the 2016 edition of Network 10’s I’m A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here.
